Strengthening the Role of Women in Rural and Agricultural Areas – Obstacles and Opportunities
Co-published by the Union for the Mediterranean (UfM) and the CIHEAM, the Watch letter n ° 40 “Strengthening the role of women in rural and agricultural areas – Obstacles and opportunities” aims to show different perspectives of the situation in the Mediterranean region by analyzing the challenges and opportunities in the socio-economic, social, environmental, legal and political domains.
The contributions allow us to better understand the mechanisms of discrimination, to identify the levers of change and to share good practices. A fundamental exercise to renew given the significant deficit in the collection and processing of sex-disaggregated data.
To move forward a greater development in the Mediterranean, the adoption of the Post-2015 Global Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals constitutes an important step towards sustainability strategies in the region. This is in a context where the future of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation must be redefined, in agreement with the new regional priorities.
For these reasons, the Watch Letter n°34 proposes a high-level file about these strategic issues, aiming to bring a Mediterranean look on these Sustainable Development Goals and to provide a forward-looking reading guide to better prepare multilateral and multi-institutional cooperation in the region.
Environmental, economic and political crises that the Mediterranean is experiencing are multiple both in nature and in number and they contribute to the degradation of living conditions of populations and production and strike a blow against the efforts made in terms of food security and development. In this Watch Letter, the CIHEAM wishes to present various Mediterranean situations where agriculture, fisheries and food have a role to play in crisis prevention and management.
